The United States, and the president's made this clear, does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us. And it's a red line obviously for the Israelis so we share a common goal here.
A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.
There is no common ground between us and Iran.
Food is the common language for all of us.
Many religious confessions share common values. They teach that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.
Every star has that certain something that stands out and compels us to notice them.
We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can't see the whole electromagnetic spectrum; we can't see the very small; we can't see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the micro-sphere.
Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.
